RE: Met anyone famous?
I've met:
Clint Eastwood (during my first job at a film distribution company in London; he was casting "Firefox" in our building; he was very shy and understated but lit up the room) David Suchet (got very drunk in the bar of the Hampstead Theatre after seeing a play he was in, with DS holding court and telling very funny stories - a lovely, lovely man) Patrick Stewart (at a post-show reception in Huddersfield...and I still AM a Trekker!) Michael Winner (yes, he really is as big a creep as he appears to be!!!) Jasper Fforde (author...very nice bloke and used to work in film industry with my husband, Bill) Ken Follett (author...also a very nice bloke...and married to my (current) MP) Michael Cashman (former actor; now an MEP...and a very nice guy. Drove him home from a campaign event to his flat in Rotherhithe) Lots of Labour politicians, including Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, Neil Kinnock, etc etc.; I used to work for Mo Mowlam MP (a bitch on wheels...but that's another story) Antonio Banderas...kind of...nodded 'hi' to him when I visited Bill on the location of a movie Banderas directed in Malaga, Spain and he smiled back. A friend offered to introduce me but I couldn't think of anything I wanted to say to him.) According to my friend Sandi, apparently I pushed Kevin Spacey out of the way to get to the toilet at the Old Vic after a performance (Kev's, not mine!). The story gets worse every time she tells it - next time, I'll have rugby-tackled him and got him in a half-Nelson! She's exaggerating, of course - I may have brushed past him... "Where's Harry?" "Moving in mysterious ways." |
